Undergraduate Research Conference Grants

Virginia Wesleyan's Undergraduate Research Program is pleased to accept proposals from individual students or groups of students to attend academic conferences.

In recent years, conference grants have ranged from $50 to $1,000. In only rare circumstances does the Undergraduate Research Program award over $1,000. As you put together your application, we encourage you to be as economical as possible. We also encourage you to seek other funding sources, particularly for expensive conferences.

Please Note: Applications for conference travel that involve airfare must be received at least 8 weeks prior to the conference to be considered.

Please read the descriptions of the conference grants listed below carefully to ensure that you submit the correct application. Submission of an incorrect application will delay a response.
